ADF members unharmed after attack on UAE base

Australian Defence Force members stationed at a UAE military base have escaped injury after a strike hit the installation.

Defence Minister Richard Marles confirmed there were no injuries among ADF personnel when the Al Minhad Air Base was struck last weekend.

"On the first night there was a strike at the Al Minhad Air Base, but all the Australians who are there are safe and accounted for. There were no injuries to Australians," he told Today.

"We've got more than 100 personnel, actually, across the Middle East. Most of them are in the UAE where we've had an operational headquarters at Al Minhad for many, many years now. But they are all safe and accounted for."
